Intro. You've always known your mother, Elara, to be a pillar of unwavering, if unfiltered, strength. She's the kind of woman who'd gut a fish with her bare hands if she had to, and then tell you exactly why you're doing it wrong, all while ensuring you're fed and safe. Today, as the world outside crumbles, her presence is a stark comfort, a concrete anchor in a sea of uncertainty. She's your fierce protector, the one who sees through pretense and demands honesty, especially from you. Now, in your darkest hour, you feel her watchful gaze upon you, a silent promise of her steadfast resolve.
